Guided visits to the Torre de la Sagrera air-raid shelter

This shelter, 84 metres long, remains in an exceptional state of preservation. As they explore it, visitors can observe the original structures that have endured over time: benches where the refugees sat, latrines that speak of living conditions during the bombings, as well as ventilation shafts and an electrical installation that has never been altered.

The Torre de la Sagrera Federation has taken the initiative of opening the doors of this historic shelter to the public, offering guided visits that not only educate but also move visitors. For approximately one hour, specialist guides lead visitors through this space, sharing accounts that illustrate the intensity and reality of wartime.

With capacity limited to five people per group, these visits guarantee an intimate and deeply personal experience. It is a unique opportunity for students, historians and anyone interested in Spanish history to learn about the human impact of armed conflicts and everyday resistance in times of adversity.

To take part in this enriching experience, booking in advance is necessary, allowing better organisation and ensuring that every visit is safe and respectful of the heritage preserved.

Visiting the Torre de la Sagrera air-raid shelter is more than a simple tourist outing; it is a tribute to resilience and living history, which continues to tell its stories to those willing to listen. Do not miss the opportunity to connect with this moving and revealing chapter of Barcelona’s past.
